You likely have many quality affiliate programs that could be earning you revenue – if you take some time to utilize your old blog post content. Search engines have already ‘indexed’ your old posts and by placing relevant affiliate banners within these posts you can capture targeted visitors and lead them right into your affiliate ads.

For example, there are two upcoming summer ‘themes’ that you may find an increase of traffic to between now and September;  Summer and Back to school.

Consider inserting Kidorable’s summer towel banners in your old posts that focus on summer children’s activites and any other summer or beach related posts you may have.

The two banners that should fit seamlessly into your posts are, the 500 by 100 blog post banner and the 300×250 medium rectangle.

You can grab your unique affiliate code for each of these banners from within your CJ account. If you know your unique affiliate url, you can direct link to any of our summer banners (though you will not be able to monitor the performance of each banner to optimize your ad inventory).

To receive all of our summer towel banners in a zipped file, simply email affiliates(at) kidorable (dot)com, with your CJ Affiliate ID (number) and request the banners.

Our suggested summer affiliate plan includes a weekly post over five weeks featuring our towels and coupon codes. Using Keyword content and SEO’d posts to generate ongoing qualified visitors from search engines in the future. Request a zipped file containing campaign suggestions, banners, product images, and keywords by emailing affiliates(at) kidorable (dot)com

Don’t limit your affiliate plans to sidebar banners. Banners are one of the least effective forms of advertisements UNLESS they are very strategically placed within related content.

Are you using email to promote your affiliate programs?

A well balanced affilaite strategy will include; social media promotion, onsite content, and newsletters or email marketing.  So how familiar are you with the Can Spam Act and are you in compliance?

Why do you as an affiliate NEED to be in compliance?

As an affiliate you represent your merchants. Which means merchants will hold you liable for Can Spam issues. Most Merchants will specifically list Can Spam compliance as a requirement to partnering with their affiliate program.

You can read the full Can Spam Act at the FTC site. Here are the main 7 items covered in the CanSpam Act.

1. Don’t use false or misleading header information. Your “From,” “To,” “Reply-To,” and routing information – including the originating domain name and email address – must be accurate and identify the person or business who initiated the message.

2. Don’t use deceptive subject lines. The subject line must accurately reflect the content of the message.

3. Identify the message as an ad. The law gives you a lot of leeway in how to do this, but you must disclose clearly and conspicuously that your message is an advertisement.
4. Tell recipients where you’re located. Your message must include your valid physical postal address. This can be your current street address, a post office box you’ve registered with the U.S. Postal Service, or a private mailbox you’ve registered with a commercial mail receiving agency established under Postal Service regulations.

5. Tell recipients how to opt out of receiving future email from you. Your message must include a clear and conspicuous explanation of how the recipient can opt out of getting email from you in the future. Craft the notice in a way that’s easy for an ordinary person to recognize, read, and understand. Creative use of type size, color, and location can improve clarity. Give a return email address or another easy Internet-based way to allow people to communicate their choice to you. You may create a menu to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to stop all commercial messages from you. Make sure your spam filter doesn’t block these opt-out requests.

6. Honor opt-out requests promptly. Any opt-out mechanism you offer must be able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days after you send your message. You must honor a recipient’s opt-out request within 10 business days. You can’t charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifying information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an opt-out request. Once people have told you they don’t want to receive more messages from you, you can’t sell or transfer their email addresses, even in the form of a mailing list. The only exception is that you may transfer the addresses to a company you’ve hired to help you comply with the CAN-SPAM Act.

7. Monitor what others are doing on your behalf. The law makes clear that even if you hire another company to handle your email marketing, you can’t contract away your legal responsibility to comply with the law. Both the company whose product is promoted in the message and the company that actually sends the message may be held legally responsible.

That means we still have TWENTY to give away.
